Description:
Oud was one of several renown international architects invited to submit entries for the design of a hotel in the centre of Brno, Czechoslovakia. Ultimately the submitted entries never came to completion, although Oud's design was published in a contemporary journal. Oud's plans featured an eight-storey building, a smaller back section. The building would comprehend 28 rooms, with a ground floor that featured one wing with a swimming pool adjoined by a courtyard to a restaurant wing. Oud favoured a functional design to avoid competing with the area's surrounding historic buildings. (Taverne et al. 2001, 347). Project series includes Oud's plans for Hotel Stiassni.

This series contains materials related to Conference of Architects for the Study of the Environment (CASE) meetings. Founded in the early 1960s, CASE was an organization of American East Coast architecture schools that sought to create a dialogue on the state of architecture with a focus on architectural practice and teaching. In 1964, Frampton participated in the first Princeton University CASE meeting, which is documented by the three tape reels in this series. Also included in this series are a program and invitations from Peter Eisenman for the CASE 8 meeting (1971) that was held at MoMA, New York. The invitations include a note with the names of who each invitation was sent to.
